Abstract
An electroaffinity column containing an interdigitated microelectrode array was used to retain human leukaemia cells dielectrophoretically a nd thereby separate them from normal blood cells. The leukaemic cells could be subsequently released by removal of the dielectrophoretic fie ld and collected. This novel approach exploits the differential dielec tric properties of cells as a sorting criterion and has applications i n medicine, biotechnology and environmental settings.
